The results are so drastically different for top 5-10 prospects coming out of hs (in terms of draft stock) that it’s a little concerning. You see how it worked in Jalen Green and Scoot’s case but you also see that it lowkey backfired for the likes of Isaiah Todd and Jaden Hardy. It’s interesting
@@sidneypratt5493 I'm really not sure it did. To me Todd and Hardy are the exact kind of raw, low feel players who tend to fall down the rankings once NBA scouts start looking at them, whether they played in college, overseas or the G-League. And, maybe more importantly, neither projected as an offensive engine the way Jalen and Scott did. Although I agree it was particularly dumb for Hardy because he would have lit up the SEC or Pac 12 playing against weaker competition and probably would've went late lottery if he shot 45/38/88 in college instead of 35/27/88. But obviously he never imagined he'd shoot that bad.
There’s a chance he gets to the NBA and those crossovers don’t do anything to dislodge NBA defenders. And he plays so upright on both ends. But got to like tall athletic shooters, he’d be great for the Blazers.
I would love to see him play for the Spurs; otherwise, Buzz City could be a good fit for BUZelis. However, I would feel sorry for him if he ends up with the Pistons, Wizards, Blazers..
He won’t but hopefully he falls to my Hornets 🙏🏼 just beef up a bit and man… That Youth.. LaMelo Ball/Nick Smith Jr/Brandon Miller/Matas Buzelis/Mark Williams
Don’t know why but this guy has future Spurs written all over him.
I hope Jazz draft him Lauri him and Kessler would be future
GO SPURS GO.
What are your thoughts on the Ignite as a developmental program so far?
w question
I get the feeling that many of the players going into the program are exactly the type of players who shouldn't be in it

@@michaelahurtall agreed although imo high level d 1 comp is not that much worse than ignite comp it's about even imo
His on ball creation looks like Tatum aesthetically
Nailed it 👌 👏
He looks like a LaMelo/Franz Wagner hybrid with the way he moves on the court
Franz Vagner type player upside?
Can we get an update on him as a product!
Ron holland next?
Aden Holloway rising into top pick status like Trae Young is going to feed families

Shades of Lauri Markkannen
yeah darkhorse comp if he bulks up but retains mobility
I'm getting Franz Wagner vibes
Perfect comp. Similar sizes, creation ability, the playmaking upside, even upright movement pattern is scary alike
Im Kind of worried about his physical Tools rn, Franz main way of Generating value rn is how well he gets to the rim
i like him, though. He's so young. No doubt still growing.
I would love to see him play for the Spurs; otherwise, Buzz City could be a good fit for BUZelis. However, I would feel sorry for him if he ends up with the Pistons, Wizards, Blazers..
Has perfect mindset
bro pls get out the hoop trenches 😂
He won’t but hopefully he falls to my Hornets 🙏🏼 just beef up a bit and man… That Youth.. LaMelo Ball/Nick Smith Jr/Brandon Miller/Matas Buzelis/Mark Williams
Okc🎉
Future Piston, unless Troy Weaver wants to lose his job
Wingspan
he's not close to 6 11". More like 6 8" and change.
Next year's draft is so bad 😂
We just need cooper man
Dude is a cardboard copy of Tatums. Same player.
